Here’s a shocker: “But as the College Football Playoff’s selection committee wrapped up two days of meetings at the Gaylord Texan on Thursday, it’s clear that objectivity is a sticking point as the college football season draws closer.”

Patrick Garbin tells us that over the last two decades, experience has nothing to do with the performance of Georgia’s offensive lines. I think that’s supposed to relieve us.

This doesn’t sound good: “The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has opened an investigation of Florida State University into whether its handling of the Jameis Winston rape allegations violated Title IX laws…”

Tramel Terry, on life as a new defensive back: “Each day it’s getting better and better. I’m just trying to get all the little terms and get them out on the field instead of thinking so much. Other than that I’m fine. I’ve just got to work hard in the summer time and get my feet right. I feel like I’ll be fine and be ready to play this year.”

After careful and deliberate consideration, and looking at all points of view, the selection committee could still not resolve all issues concerning conflicts of interest, but were able to unanimously agree on one point…Georgia must not be allowed to play for the MNC.

I’m just trying to get all the little terms and get them out on the field instead of thinking so much … I’ve just got to work hard in the summer time and get my feet right.

FWIW, this is good to hear. No need to rule Terry out of the FS slot just because he’s coming kind of slow. A lot is new to him, and he has time this summer to ingrain his fundamentals so they become natural.

Then, he’ll be able to play and make plays. And we’ll get to see how competitive he is in Camp. Nothing slow about that track at all.

It’s interesting though, if not ironic, that we saw the opposite pattern with Matthews last year. So it’s much to early count Terry out of anything.

Seriously…. you’d think these AD’s would have learned their lesson after O’Leary swindled ND, but alas – USF got swindled by Masiello a couple weeks ago and then this….

Korn/Ferry sent a follow-up e-mail to the office of university president Bill Powers, making sure the university did not require Korn/Ferry to “conduct employment reference checks or an education verification for Charlie Strong.”

Is it just me or does it seem Lilly does very little for his salary. He coaches tight ends, when we have some. He has been the unnamed but actual special teams coordinator since Fab left. This joint coordinator thing seems to be a nod to Mark’s old FSU buddy. See I didn’t fire him I just gave him some help from someone who actually knows something about special teams. I hope Lilly can at least recruit because if he can’t he is a total waste.

Based on those comments Lilly still doesn’t seem to hace the sense of urgency we need. I hope he gets a strong talk following that interview or I wouldnt expect a lit of change with his area of responsibility.

Agree. He seems pretty complacent with his job security. To paraphase: ‘We were damn good in 2010…’ My response would be we sucked in 2013, and he’s the assistant coach most fans would blame for the suckitude.
